Training
The Grove is a leading provider of quality CPD courses in mental health. Our cutting-edge range of accredited and practical courses is designed to enhance your practice, empowering the way you work with a toolkit of tried and trusted techniques. Learn from renowned experts with years of experience and clinical skill, gained from private practice or with employers such as NHS, Relate, or Mind. Whether you're just starting out or wanting to take your practice to the next level - our training gives you confidence and a wider skillset.
For 2023, the Spring intakes are being taught in person at NCVO in London N1. Whereas the Autumn 2023 intakes are being taught on Zoom. So there is a choice of delivery format to suit your needs.
All our tutor-led courses are run as interactive experiential learning, whether taught in person or on Zoom. There is attentive tutor input and multiple opportunities for skills practice working in pairs or trios, supported by study buddy groups for more support in a smaller set during the course.
Whether you are learning in person or on Zoom or by self-study video, all our courses include comprehensive materials and a CPD certificate.
CPD is an outlay and we recognise that budgets may be squeezed through increases in the cost of living. For those who are self-funding, we offer extended monthly payment plans to spread the cost. Depending on the situation, we may be able to grant a fee reduction from our discretionary funds. We offer this in support of developing our profession for the benefit of clients who may themselves represent marginalised or less affluent groups in society.
